.text:00455F85                 mov     edx, [ebp+s1]
.text:00455F88                 xor     ecx, ecx
.text:00455F8A                 mov     cl, [edx+2]
.text:00455F8D                 add     ecx, 0FFFFFFFBh
.text:00455F90                 push    ecx             ; maxlen
.text:00455F91                 mov     eax, [ebp+s1]
.text:00455F94                 add     eax, 5
.text:00455F97                 push    eax             ; src
.text:00455F98                 lea     edx, [ebp+s]
.text:00455F9E                 push    edx             ; dest
.text:00455F9F                 call    _strncpy

After the “NM” entry is located in the .ISO file UltraISO executes _strncpy function with maxlen argument calculated directly from the ISO header’s byte field NM_hdr.len - the length of the alternate name.

UltraISO assumes this field is always larger than 5 bytes however if attacker forces it to be less than that value the maxlen parameter for the _strncpy function will be extremely big (NM_hdr.len - 5, result is unsigned).

Later the memset function (inside the _strncpy function) is executed where the extremely big size parameter is used which leads to memory corruption.
